    Budget 0-20k PC Upgrade Advice

    As I previously said this PC is just a temporary one to push through maybe a year or year and a half till we can get that reimbursement for a PC/Laptop next year. So, spending upwards of 6k now doesn't make any sense. As for the SSD, even if this PC fails, I have other systems where I can put it...

    Video Issues with chromecast tv

    I am also using a hub, but with the stock charger, I just use ethernet and will probably have issues if I add more devices though.

    Budget 0-20k PC Upgrade Advice

    Thank you for the suggestion. I have already ordered the same SSD, a few days ago and is actually just waiting for its delivery. Also SSD I haven't included in my budget because even if the system doesn't work, the SSD can still be used elsewhere It is just the RAM and processor for which the...

    Budget 0-20k PC Upgrade Advice

    As I said for upgradation not more than 2k - 3k. If you are asking the budget for a whole another PC, it depends on lot of other factors. My parents just might get a laptop or a mini pc whatever is portable. I believe that they get about 20k that they can claim as expense once a year. So, this...

    Budget 0-20k PC Upgrade Advice

    Again, at that price wouldn't it just be more sensible to go for a mini pc then? As far as I know these Android TV boxes are underpowered, have security concerns if not from reputable brands. I like the idea, but I think for my parents at this budget a mini pc is a better alternative considering...

    Budget 0-20k PC Upgrade Advice

    TBH, I do not have a set budget right now. The main aim is to have a decent system that can do all the tasks that my parents need which is mostly browser based and involves some printing as well. The budget should be just not high enough that buying a refurb mini pc becomes an alternative...

    Budget 0-20k PC Upgrade Advice

    But multiple customer images had SODIMM model numbers, if it was one or two, it could have been so, here it feels fake. Anyway, not going to purchase from them was just curious.

    Budget 0-20k PC Upgrade Advice

    So I was just browsing through amazon and Flipkart for some DDR3 RAMs when I saw a Sk hynix ram in Flipkart it has more than 2.5K rating with average rating of 3.8. But when I looked the model number of RAM given in the product listing and even some customer images, a lot of them actually show...

    Budget 0-20k PC Upgrade Advice

    Are price you are suggesting for barebones or a full system, best I could find was closer to 10k than 7k. I am probably looking at the wrong place then.

    Budget 0-20k PC Upgrade Advice

    Theoretically SSDs should be faster than HDDs right? Also, I believe that SSDs only make bootup and app loading faster mainly and doesn't have much impact elsewhere in performance of the system. I maybe wrong. On paper atleast you should see an improvement in your system, I don't know why your...

    Has anyone tried Real Debrid

    Apart from stremio what are some other apps that might be user friendly for non tech savvy people to access debrid, I tried kodi, it was a heavy and not stable in my chromecast with google tv after adding my personal collection as well. Stremio can't access my personal collection as far as I...

    Budget 0-20k PC Upgrade Advice

    Thank you for the reply, for the RAM are there any specifications that I need to look into other than ddr3. The board is H61 from Asus and from what I have seen online it supports maximum of 1333Mhz, most of the RAM online is 1600Mhz, but should just work in the lower speed without much...
